An exhibition in collaboration with Ben Brown Fine Arts showcasing Old Masters alongside the works of Antoni Tàpies and Miguel Barceló. 3 to 23 of May.

Colnaghi and Ben Brown Fine Arts present Textura, an exhibition celebrating texture and materiality in art which brings together paintings and sculptures from the ancient and modern worlds. Presenting rediscovered and rarely seen works by Old Masters including Luca Giordano, El Greco and Pedro de Mena, the exhibition will show classical works together with modern masterpieces by two artists strongly influenced by texture, religion and historic art: Antoni Tàpies and Miquel Barceló. The exhibition will run from 3 to 10 May at Colnaghi’s recently opened townhouse space at 38 East 70th Street in New York.

Two outstanding Pre-Columbian Collections: An Andean Ceramic Bestiary & a Group of Sculptured Stone Mace Heads.

Colnaghi is proud to present two related collections of Pre-Columbian art lovingly and intelligently assembled over three decades: a superb group of 32 Andean and Central American stone mace heads, and a representative gathering of 43 Andean animal effigy vessels. These last Andean vessels span close to three millennia, from the so-called Initial Period in the Andes (circa 1200 BC) to the Spanish conquest of that area in the sixteenth century.

A Tale of Two Kingdoms: The Art of Spain and Naples. This exhibition explores the artistic exchanges between Spain and Naples - culminating in the Art of the Baroque.

This exhibition explores the artistic exchanges between Spain and Naples, culminating with art of the baroque. The Italian city was ruled by Spain from 1503 to 1714 prompting a long period of cultural exchange, with Spanish artists travelling to Naples and Neopolitan artists thriving in Spain. Early highlights of the exhibition include a sculpture of Mars by the Italian artist Giovanni da Nola (documented from 1508-1553), commissioned by his Spanish patron and viceroy of Naples, the 2nd Duke of Cardona; Stoic Thinker, a striking and rarely-seen figure of a philosopher by the artist known as the Master of the Annunciation of the Shepherds (1604-1654), who thrived in Naples having believed to have travelled from his native Spain; and Saint Francis of Assisi, an important work by Pedro de Mena (1628-1688), one of the most celebrated sculptors of the Spanish Golden Age.

A dialogue between Old Master still lifes and the photographs of contemporary American artist Paulette Tavormina.

Art is a continuum: the past and present are timeless, woven together with gossamer threads. When captured in a photograph or a painting, a still life gives immortality to a single moment in all its beauty and fragility. So still lifes are perhaps the most timeless of pictures. This show featuring contemporary photography alongside a selection of the gallery’s quintessential Old Master paintings is the culmination of shared passion and immense dedication to life itself.

Still lifes are perhaps the most timeless of pictures - this exhibition dedicated to still lifes, consisting of selected Old Master paintings alongside the photographs of contemporary American artist Paulette Tavormina.

The foundation is the brainchild of Jorge Coll and Nicolás Cortés, owners of Colnaghi, whose determination to engage a new audience to the world of Old Masters is already provoking interest and excitement.
